Bobby Dove Bobby Dove is quickly becoming a standout presence in the world of Country and Americana music. Their powerful voice and storytelling pay tribute to the golden era of country while delivering fresh, emotionally charged original songs. Their 2021 album, Hopeless Romantic, has received international acclaim, featuring collaborations with musicians from Blue Rodeo, including Jim Cuddy.

“I’m not sure if Hank Williams or Hank Snow kept a mistress in Montreal or Manitoba maybe we didn’t hear about and passed some genes down, or what has possessed Bobby Dove to become like a vessel or channeler for all the great classic country music influences we so sorely miss. But this is some of the most authentically-rendered and true-to-inspiration country music you can root out, while still holding onto enough originality to hit your ears with a welcomed freshness.” — Saving Country Music (USA)

Barry James Payne With roots in Folk, Alt.Country, Blues, and Rock, Barry James Payne’s music under his String Bone project is known for its compelling stories and poignant reflections on social issues. His songs touch on everything from love’s regrets to larger societal concerns like racism and global warming, all set to an Americana and Canadiana beat.

“In addition to being a good singer with a pleasant timbre, Barry James Payne is a traditional songsmith, of which Love & Highways is excellent proof.” — Music That Needs Attention - Theo Volk

Don’t miss this evening of raw, soul-stirring performances from two extraordinary musicians. A night of country and roots music not to be missed at The Bunker Performance Lounge & Cafe.
